turning to something for the next. it's the environment series of global three thousand on and on line. this is. us president warns if they impeach me in the markets. she days after his wife. removing him from office. and even. we'll have the latest from washington also coming up the u.k. government tries to reassure citizens and businesses in case britain. the european

union without a deal. that some are calling. talk to the captain of a german aid ship standing. two hundred thirty rescue. you with us tonight u.s. president is firing back at opponents who are calling for his impeachment it's been two days since his black tuesday when two of his aides were convicted and one of them his former attorney accused of ordering him to commit a federal crime to influence the outcome of the twenty sixteen presidential election when on the function for show this morning on fox news to declare that he hadn't broken any campaign last. jeff sessions for failing to show.

loyalty and take control of investigations here's what trump had to see in response to questions about his political future i'll tell you what if i ever got a piece i think the market would crash i think everybody would be very poor. because without this thinking you would see that you would see numbers that you wouldn't believe in reverse. all right going to take the story out of washington our bureau chief alexander phenomenas on the story for us good evening to you all xandra we heard there used the word impeachment extraordinary for a sitting president to do that is he issuing a threat here well it sounds like a threat like a warning there are two that are why is he going to pay the price and that is i would say trump's usual strategy to attack to bully his critics his opponents to threaten them and to make up stories but this is also a message to the republican voters to his supporters and their hope to mobilize

them to try if them to the polls this prospect that the president may be in the political peril and so he's sending this message saying them you have to vote for me in the midst of elections to prevent democratic party from taking over the house because if that happens that's really it's possible that we are a very likely that we are going to see impeachment proceedings starting them and i was introduced interview it comes on the heels of that plea deal by drums former attorney michael cohen over hush money. in adult film star over an alleged extramarital so your listeners know what trump had to say about michael koch. your actions may he may need to do he made the deals and by the way he pled to two counts and on a crime which nobody understands i watched

a number of shows sometimes you get some pretty good information by watching shows . those two cans are even a crime they were in campaign finance. months ago when he pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations among other charges you got strong saying that this is not a crime so what are we supposed to make of this while the president is arguing that there is no crime because the payments were made to with his own money but that doesn't exonerate team because the rules or the law is quite clear here you have to disclose any come pain expense. whether it's coming from a companion fund or from a private account. and then there is attorney general jeff sessions he has watched back at trump today saying that justice will not be influenced by politics now how significant is this alexander. i think that is very significant

not the fact that once again criticized criticize sessions but the fact that sessions this time hit back normally he would say he wouldn't response to the president's criticism he would just continue he's work at the justice department so the fact that now he is pushing back it's very significant we have to remind ourselves that sessions was one of the earliest and most high profile supporters of presidents try and he might be no interpret the there are some republicans already talking about that that that the president might fire sessions after that mixed terms all right of course when alexander phenomenalist we've words tonight in washington alexandra thank you very much. well keep calm and carry on that is the message from the u.k. government as time starts to run out for agreeing to

a deal to withdraw from the european union should britain crash out with no deal the government has published guidelines for people and businesses on how to prepare but breaks it minister dominique robb he says that he is still confident of reaching an agreement with the e.u. twenty five sets guidelines for different industries republish today will be about fifty more by the end of september. the message is loud and clear don't panic britain's bracks it minister dominic robb emphasised the guidelines issued today a manly a contingency plan for the event of a new deal something he said is unlikely and i'm confident that a good deal is within all sides that remains our top priority it remains overriding priority naturally we've got to consider the alternative possibility that the e.u. doesn't match our ambition and pragmatism that we do not reach a deal let me be clear about this it is not what we want and it's not what we

expect. but we must be reading that rob was at pains to stress that even if there is no deal there will not be chaos in britain with its guidelines the government is seeking to prepare u.k. businesses for the future but a no deal scenario would have wide reaching consequences without a trade agreement britain's relations with the e.u. would be governed by the basic rules of the world trade organization customs checks would be reintroduced which in turn would lead to massive queues along access roads to ports and terrorists would be imposed on all goods w.t.f. rules do not cover and traffic however at planes would not be permitted to fly from the u.k. into e.u. airspace and vice versa that would have a knock on effect disrupting the delivery of food stuffs britain imports thirty percent of its produce from the e.u. u.k. supermarkets could feel the pinch rob was eager to allay fears of a food shortage issue so let me assure you that contrie to one of the wall the

claims you will still be able to enjoy b.l.t. off the bricks and there are no plans to deploy the army to maintain since the plots preparations would also need to be made in the finance sector british citizens living in the european union could lose access to their u.k. bank accounts but rob is sticking to his don't panic mantra adamant that the u.k. is ready for breakfast with or without a deal like very much. well here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world australia is in a wild and a leadership crisis that could top one is from malcolm out on the turnbull now he has promised to quit if enough members of his liberal party look for a fresh leadership challenge on friday turnbull has described the move against him as an internal insurgency to push his party further to the right a british aid worker has been temporarily released from jail in iran in the gallery

radcliffe had been sentenced to five years in jail convicted of plotting against the iranian government she has been given a three day reprieve to visit her family british authorities and supporters are pushing for her permanent release spain has deported over one hundred migrants from its north african territory suit to the migrants were sent back to morocco after breaching the border fence earlier this week migrant shelters in so you are currently at double their capacity human rights groups have criticise spain for sending some migrants back before checking their asylum claims. in malta the trial of the captain of a german aid ship that rescued more than two hundred thirty migrants in the mediterranean resumed today only to be postponed for three weeks due to procedural reasons or back in june maltese authorities allowed the ship to dock but then impelled it and charged its captain klaus peter rice with failing to properly register the vessel rice insists he's done nothing wrong the w.

met up with him at his home in southern germany klaus peter highish had a comfortable life and of area he has a nice house and runs a successful small business but did not want to be complacent so he became a captain aboard a search and rescue ship in the mediterranean and that is now why he is facing legal proceedings in malta. of course this is an unpleasant situation but i go to court with my head held high i have to say we didn't do anything wrong on the contrary we saved people's lives and i gladly take responsibility for this. at the end of june and his crew aboard the ship lifeline rescued more than two hundred thirty refugees after that their own odyssey began the lifeline was not allowed to dock anywhere and instead had to sail aimlessly for days it ended up in malta where the ship was impounded it was taken in for questioning by police the

accusation the vessel's papers were not in order to throw in there i think it's very strange that we're not talking about saving people's lives right now but instead about the boats registration which is supposedly not valid this would mean we could not sail under the dutch flag even though it very clearly states uses his time between court appearances to keep in touch with his network of supporters. a lawyer you are asking fella is providing legal advice. or cannot comprehend that rescuers are being treated like criminals. this stuff that as a lawyer i thought well this case is very unusual a person who was rescued people at sea has been detained. for very dubious reasons in my view. it's in. lives in an affluent town in one of germany's wealthiest regions the refugee dramas of the

mediterranean seem far away although. gets a lot of sympathy here for his work he sometimes has difficult conversations. this is what i experienced at an ice cream parlor a man made me ask him if he favored letting people drowned and then he said yes if he were the captain he would simply run over people in the sea. you can't reason with someone like that. before his next court appearance. is working on a minibus that was donated for his team in montana the activists are now collecting donations for a new ship they do not want to wait until authorities release the lifeline together with captain they want to head back to sea as soon as possible in order to save more people from drowning. well it's being hailed as
